Construction drawings for new sea walls along the west side of Briny Breezes are on their way following authorization of a $1,124,196 contract with consultant Brizaga Inc.
The Town Council voted on Oct. 23 to let Mayor Ted Gross sign the contract on behalf of the town.
In return for monthly payments, Brizaga will provide engineering services for the town’s “Coastal Protection Upgrades and Replacement Project.” Specifically, the firm will deliver:
• Review of the existing condition assessments of existing coastal infrastructure,
• Engineering design and preparation of construction documents,
• Development of cost estimates and phasing strategies,
• Permitting at local, state and federal levels,
• Additional data collection and analysis necessary to support design and permitting,
• Bidding and procurement support,
• Construction administration and inspection services,
• Grant and funding support documentation,
• Coordination with utilities and other stakeholders, and
• Community engagement and public communication support.
The sea walls, which in some sections are riprap, are currently rated fair, poor and serious.
